When the NFL announced that it was banning players from wearing Beats By Dre headphones because of a deal with Bose, a lot of people immediately pointed at the quarterback poster boy for the brand: Colin Kaepernick. Then on Sunday, he said “fuck it” and wore his pink Beats By Dre headphones for his post-game press conference.

Now he has to pay, according to league sources. His fine will be $10,000:
Colin Kaepernick said he was fined $10K for wearing Beats by Dre after the game Sunday.

As to who is paying the fine? Well…
I asked Colin Kaepernick if he or Beats by Dre will pay the $10K fine. “We’ll let that be unanswered,” he said.

Let’s see if he continues to defy League orders this week and, if so, how much the fine will be. Your move, K-Cap.
